WooThemes, which is the new face of "Premium News Themes" (premiumnewstheme.com), launched recently with some nice features.

They are a team of 4 well-known Wordpress theme designers; Adii, Magnus Jepson, Mark Forrester and Elliot Jay Stocks who are about to rise the bar in premium themes market.

Rather than the famous news theme "Premium News Theme" was offering, WooThemes currently offers 10 themes and officially promises to release at least 1 new theme every month.

A new feature; "WooThemes Club" can be a good address for users who like changing themes frequently as members of the club can download every theme (and the new themes released).

In my opinion, ProudFolio, a new Wordpress theme created by Elliot Jay Stocks is very unique as it is totally targeted to designers & other creative people who wants to present their portfolio and have a blog at the same time.

And Vibrant CMS is again a new theme which is business-targeted & very elegant (this is also the base theme of WooThemes).

If you’re looking for quality Wordpress themes with support, WooThemes is a powerful option for that.

PSD to HTML by PSD2HTML.com is the first online conversion / PSD slicing service as they are serving since the beginning of 2005.

They provide a comprehensive "Order Now" page which contains markup packages and a full set of all necessary markup options with descriptions.

It is easy for me to review PSD2HTML as I used the service twice when I was in a hurry to complete one project and needed to have a progress in another.

The markup was good, they communicated with me when needed (like "lists you designed can be flexible for you when done with tables, if I wanted them as tables or divs") and price was reasonable.

Only thing that I mis-calculated was the turnaround time (as it was work hours). I can say that I was happy with the end product and it saved me a lot of time.

They still have quick turnaround and competitive prices (starting from $153). They also offer conversion of PSDs to Wordpress, Blogger, Joomla and other major software templates.

If required, their support team helps to choose all necessary options for each project. And, they are offering different implementation types when needed.

You can have a look at their example works here and testimonials here.

To conclude, I can easily suggest you to use PSD2HTML to save time & possibly money.

Markup Factory is an impressive web publishing platform for web designers & developers.

It is a hosted-platform where you can create simple to complex websites easily with features including:

• content management system
• blog
• calendar
• event registration
• online store
• podcasting
• newsletter management
• & much more.

And, you or your customers can manage all the features with a powerful content management & administration interface.

I have been playing with Markup Factory for a while & the best part is, it does not limit or force you to a new way of development.

It presents you all the logics of a website, blog, online store etc., you continue developing how you used to, creating the template, css, even add JS functions if you want but don’t deal with the time-consuming programming part and take advantage of the ready-to-use modules.

Markup Factory is built with web standards in mind. It has a powerful template engine that supports native XHTML - CSS and system modules have valid XHTML outputs from end to end.

There are also 2 "in-beta" features that are about to make the system much powerful:

• built-In customizable online database
• form builder

The application is very well-documented & not complicated. This makes the adaption period shorter.

Markup Factory is offering different packages for different requirements.

For an example Markup Factory built website, check Marshill.cc.

For an overview/tour of the system, click here.

Conclusion:

Markup Factory is complete website creation platform for web designers/developers. It will enable you to create a  complicated website with a blog, e-commerce features, event registration, calendar, etc in a very short time.

On the other hand, the website manager will be able to manage the whole content & system easily (when needed, there is a ready-to-use documentation).
